Transmigrated as My Best Friend's Ex

141. A Love Triangle

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Li Qinghao’s silence gave Mu Yinting an affirmative answer.

“Did someone identity you?” Mu Yinting asked in a tentative tone. If what had happened to Li Qinghao was known to the world, it would cause tremendous chaos.

“No.” Li Qinghao shook his head. “One of my junior high school classmates moved to the apartment below ours. I don’t think it’s just a coincidence.”

“Er…” Mu Yinting kept silent.

“Tell me what you’ve found out about Lei Wen,” said Li Qinghao.

“These pictures were taken by Zhang Wei and Spy when they were shadowing Lei Wen.” Mu Yinting took out a folder from his desk drawer and handed it to Li Qinghao.

Li Qinghao opened the folder and saw many pictures of Lei Wen and Max hugging and kissing.

“But,” Mu Yinting paused for a second and continued, “When stalking Max, Zhang Wei found that Max has a love affair with another man.” With that, he took another folder from his drawer.

Li Qinghao gave Mu Yinting a meaningful look and opened the second folder in which there were some pictures of Max canoodling with another man. “So… Max is in a love triangle with Lei Wen and another man?” That day Nancheng Lie had said that Max had tried to seduce him. What the hell was Max playing at?

“I’ve heard from you that Max was Nancheng Lie’s old lover. So, these pictures are a present for you. Do you know who that man is?” Mu Yinting asked. His mysterious tone stimulated Li Qinghao’s curiosity. Li Qinghao looked carefully at the pictures in his hand. The man in the pictures was very handsome. Different from Nancheng Lie who had a sunny personality, the man had an aura of evilness. “You know, I don’t pay much attention to public figures.”

“Yeah, I know. You don’t care about anybody but Nancheng Lie. But I think you must have heard of the Qiao clan. Although the Qiao clan can’t compare with the powerful Nancheng clan or the time-honored Han clan, the games developed by Qiao Group are very famous in the video game industry.”

“Of course I know that.” Li Qinghao often watched the financial news. “It is a pity that the eldest son of the Qiao family is not competent to run his family company well. After he inherited Qiao Group, no new games are developed. He doesn’t have a spirit of adventure.” He knew what happened in the city’s business circle. “Is that man Young Master Qiao?” The man in those pictures had penetrating eyes. He didn’t look like a man of the old school.

“He’s Young Master Qiao’s twin brother, the second son of the Qiao family.” Mu Yinting raised his voice a little with excitement. “Their father Mr. Qiao fell in love with a Korean woman when he studied abroad. They two registered their marriage abroad. Later that woman gave birth to twin boys for him. But they got tired of each other in less than a year. So they divorced in a peaceful way. They each was given the custody of one kid. Mr. Qiao returned to China with his eldest son. A year and a half ago, that is to say, not long after your car accident, Young Master Qiao died. It is said that a drunk driver knocked down and killed him. What is more dramatic is that Max used to be Young Master Qiao’s lover.”

“What?!” Li Qinghao was very surprised.

“It sounds unbelievable, isn’t it? I also couldn’t believe it when I found out about their relationship. After breaking up with Nancheng Lie, Max became Young Master Qiao’s lover.”

“Then how did Max get into a love triangle with Lei Wen and Young Master Qiao’s twin brother?” Li Qinghao’s temples pulsed a little, threatening a headache.

“After the death of Young Master Qiao, the Qiao family was in chaos. Although Second Young Master Qiao appeared in time, no one was willing to recognize him as the lawful heir of Qiao Group. After all, his family died so early. As for what happened between Second Young Master Qiao, Max and Lei Wen, only they themselves know it. By the way, Max has been with Lei Wen for more than a year; that is to say, Max had already developed an intimate relationship with Lei Wen when Young Master Qiao was still alive.” Tidbits about both women and men were attractive and newsworthy. “What are you going to do?”

“Why do you ask me this question?” Li Qinghao raised his eyebrows. “It’s none of my business.” He learned long ago to walk away from things that didn’t concern him, because he didn’t want to get into trouble.

“So what about Lei Wen? How should I report to my client? Anyway, I have to be honest to any of my clients.” Mu Yinting always took a principled stand.

“Do as you please. But please allow me to tell Nancheng Yunsen about the news. Don’t worry, I know what to do and what not to do.”

“I trust you.”

Li Qinghao returned to his own office. He was about to phone Nancheng Yunsen when Mu Yinting ran in and said, “I forgot to tell you that Yingli is almost ready. In other words, he is getting ready to set off to Nancheng Lie’s private island to do his research and experiments. You know, in this case… Hahaha…” Mu Yinting burst into meaningful laughter.

“You are going with him, right?” Obviously, the answer was in the affirmative.
